  • 1 Get Wisdom at Any Cost Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction; pay attention and gain understanding.
  • 2 I give you sound learning, so do not forsake my teaching.
  • 3 For I too was a son to my father, still tender, and cherished by my mother.
  • 4 Then he taught me, and he said to me, “Take hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands, and you will live.
  • 5 Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them.
  • 6 Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.
  • 7 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get 4:7 Or Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, 4:7 Or wisdom. / Whatever else you get get understanding.
  • 8 Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you.
  • 9 She will give you a garland to grace your head and present you with a glorious crown.”
  • 10 Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many.
  • 11 I instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths.
  • 12 When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble.
  • 13 Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life.
  • 14 Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers.
  • 15 Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way.
  • 16 For they cannot rest until they do evil; they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.
  • 17 They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.
  • 18 The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
  • 19 But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble.
  • 20 My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words.
  • 21 Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;
  • 22 for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.
  • 23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
  • 24 Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
  • 25 Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you.
  • 26 Give careful thought to the 4:26 Or Make level paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.
  • 27 Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.
